re: Explain to me the harm of ‘adderall’

I’ll say this, I’m currently prescribed/taking daily and I wish I never started. In the beginning it was great, I was able to take half my prescribed dosage and get all the desired effects like focus/get work done while still maintaining a good diet, sleep pattern, and mood. Now I’m taking full dosage just to get up to baseline, sometimes I take even more. My mood is terrible at the end of the day and if I don’t consume alcohol/take melatonin (sometimes both) I literally can’t sleep. I most definitely drink more since starting, probably by a factor of 2 or 3. So end up starting my day hungover with still bad overall sleep and need an Adderall just to function. It really has turned into a viscous cycle for me and will certainly impact my long-term health if I don’t stop. Luckily, I have a great support system with family/friends that are holding me accountable while trying to get off of it.
